"Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all."
@benroyce@mastodon.social#MAGA will pull a #reichstagFire routine
any violent expression- real or #agentProvocateur, will be met with a huge crackdown on #civilLiberties
this is not an argument to not fight
this is a recognition of what we are up against, and some people in denial out there need to understand what's coming
#fascism only understands one thing. and it should have met that a long time ago, because by waiting and "it will all just go away" bs the threat only grows

#Cellebrite Is Using AI to Summarize Chat Logs & Audio from Seized Mobile Phones
Cellebrite the company which makes near ubiquitous phone #hacking & #forensics tech used by police officers…has introduced AI capabilities into its products, including summarizing chat logs/audio messages from #seized mobile phones
The introduction of #AI into a tool that essentially governs how #evidence against criminal defendants is analyzed already has #CivilLiberties experts concerned
404 Media · Cellebrite Is Using AI to Summarize Chat Logs and Audio from Seized Mobile PhonesThe proliferation of AI through law enforcement tools already has civil liberties experts concerned. “When you have results from an AI, they are not transparent. Often you cannot trace back where a conclusion came from, or what information it is based on. AIs hallucinate," one said.
IDEA: I don't have the technical chops to do it, but I'd loooove if someone used open-source license plate reader software and enabled people to set up a network of raspberry pies with inexpensive cameras attached them to surveil the surveiller: these devices could track cop plates as they move around cities, which could then be fed into a live, open map

**Privacy Alert: The New French Surveillance Law**
The proposed law not only targets drug trafficking but also poses a significant threat to the very foundation of our digital privacy. By mandating "backdoors" in encrypted messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp, this legislation compromises the security of all users. This sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to widespread surveillance and abuse.
**Why It Matters**: Encryption is essential for safeguarding our personal communications from prying eyes, including those of malicious actors. If the government can access our messages, so can hackers.
**Take Action**: Join the fight against this invasive law! If you are a French national or resident, contact your representatives and demand they prioritize our digital rights.

Imagine a chain of rights where one small push can topple fundamental freedoms. United we stand, divided we fall. This powerful cartoon serves as a poignant reminder that protecting one right means protecting them all. Let’s stand together for justice and equality for everyone!

I've programmed computers since 1984 (https://liw.fi/40/). I was part of #Linux from the beginning. I was a #Debian developer for about 20 years (1996-2018). I care about #SoftwareFreedom and #CivilLiberties. I think about #backups. My main hobby is #OpenSource development. I have too many personal projects (https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/radicle.liw.fi/). I work on #Radicle (https://radicle.xyz/).
My other hobby is classic European men's style. I like to wear a #suit. Preferably with a vest.

Will use Alien Act (1798) to cleanse our cities of gangs.
Besides putting limits on immigration, this law also criminalized “false, scandalous, and malicious writing” against the government.

Brace for impact.

"British police arrest environmental protesters at nearly three times the global average rate, research has found, revealing the country as a world leader in the legal crackdown on climate activism.
"Only Australia arrested climate and environmental protesters at a higher rate than UK police. One in five Australian eco-protests led to arrests, compared with about 17% in the UK. The global average rate is 6.7%."
